[V1]

Social Security and IRA. Plus tax on top of that.

There's too much gone. For way too long,

It's kept my wallet flat.

Payday blues, I'm not amused

By the medical I must pay.

Not being sick just won't do the trick,

It comes out anyway.

[CHORUS]

Hey, it's Pay Day again.

It comes round now and then.

And it doesn't matter when,

I never seem to win.

[V2]

I worked ten hours over. Came home with only two,

No overtime's worth being in a bind,

When more state tax is due.

And what's this parking fee for?

It's such a waste to pay.

The kick in the head that makes me see red,

There's no parking anyway.

[CHORUS]

Yeah, it's Pay Day again.

It comes round now and then.

And it doesn't matter when,

I never seem to win.

[V3]

My friends call me well-paid, but that's just the laundry bill.

No self-esteem makes me dry clean,

But the cost of new clothes will.

I'll be back at work tomorrow,

With a lunch bag in my hand.

There is no doubt, I can't eat out,

I'm sure you understand

[CHORUS]

Yeah, it's Pay Day again.

It comes round now and then.

And it doesn't matter when,

I never seem to win.
